Inside Out Library

Pascarel. Only a story. By Ouida

Ouida · 1873 · 28 pictures

A three-volume novel of Italian theatrical life by Ouida, published in London in 1873 for the Victorian circulating-library readership. The plates here are wood-engraved horizontal headpieces and tailpieces: comic and tragic masks set in dense foliage, and winged dragons flanking a heraldic shield, all framed in ruled rectangles usable as banners, chapter rules, or borders.
